  Leaf Vilge. Kensei's Home.

  The real Daichi was meditating and gathering as much chakra as he could. As he was in his meditative state he suddenly gained memories of his e in Orochimaru's base. The Genin looked at the clod let out a deep breath.

  '3:00 am. I 't waste much more time. I o get to Danzo before the Hokage. If he finds Shisui's eye there is a good ce he'll destroy it.'

  Without wasting another sed Daichi created two shadow es. 'Using Shadow es is the safest option. With my Hyper ition skill and Analyze skill, I'll be able to avoid attacks while still fighting at optimum state. If the Hokage is going after Danzo then that warhawk must already be aware of it or at the very least will be soon. He'll be prepared. I 't get caught in their crossfire. I'll have to get to Danzo before the Hokage or anyone else with him.'

  The moment the es came to life they made a seal for the special transformation jutsu and smoke covered them.

  Daichi gazed at the two new figures and smiled. 'Monkey D Dragon. You're a mysterious figure when I left my old world. It's the reason I chose you. No one will be able to figure out your in because your identity teically does here.'

  The gamer ninja took several items from his iory and hahem to his es. "Stealth gear. They'll help you even if it's only a little bit."

  The es nodded. "Based oel we got, those reanimations kwo entrao the Root. But sihey failed the mission I don't know if Danzo sealed those entrahere is a good ce the intel might be outdated."

  Daiodded as he uood the worries of the e. "Yes. But we won't know till we check it out. And if those entrances are blocked go to pn B."

  "That will dey us." The other es crossed his arms and frowned.

  "Yes. But we have no other choice. Let's go. We shouldn't waste anymore time." Daichi gave the order and the two es vanished.

  'Avoiding the Hokage's ninjas and Root aing to Danzo might not be easy. Still, I've taken all the precautions I and made sure to maximize my odds by learning that jutsu. It's nowhere near perfect. But for the moment, this will have to do.'

  —-

  The two disguised es were moving through the forest and made sure to use their skills to avoid the patrol units. Their stealth skills, bined with their special gear helped them stay invisible to the ninjas roaming the vilge. The two shadow es went in different dires, headed for the two entrahey knew about.

  It took approximately 15 minutes for them to get to their destination.

  One of the es looked at the rge boulder in front of him. 'This is it. Time to see if Danzo slipped up or not.'

  Daichi examihe area and immediately used 'observe' skill. The information he found made him frown behind his mask. 'Damn it. Not only did he seal this entrance, he also put a trap in for arying to get in.'

  The e immediately sent the message via the new unication array jutsu he developed.

  'Danzo sealed this location and eve up a trap here.'

  'Hold o me see if that's the case here too.' The sed e replied and examihe area. The information his system showed him made him annoyed as well.

  'This isn't good. That geezer sealed this area too. He isn't taking any ces.'

  The real Daichi was at home watg everything. 'Damn it. I khings wouldn't go that easy for me.'

  Suddenly his e sent another message that surprised the Genin.

  'My observe info showed another rance created near my location. It even showed me the activation seals.'

  Seeing that message, a grin wide enough to split his face appeared on Daichi. 'A fortune in misfortune. Observe skill is so OP.'

  'What are you waiting fo!'

  Receiving the order, the e immediately moved to the new location. It ne field with trees c it from all sides. The 'Dragon' e quickly made the needed seals to operance.

  A moment after he made the final seal the ground parted ways and stairs formed.

  Just then a new system message appeared.

  [You have found a Key Dungeorieving the key to the dungeoo this dungeon has been pced in the iory.]

  'It opened. And I got a dungeon key as a bonus. I'm going in. I've pced a marking nearby. I'll leave the entrance open. Make sure you close it behind you.' The e sent the message and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

  A few seds ter another e appeared near a jutsu seal and quickly followed. After he ehe base he weaved the ter seals and made sure to close the entrance.

  Daichi's raid on Root. Time 3:18 am.

  —-

  A couple of minutes after Daichi's es infiltrated the Root base several Anbu ninjas began verging at multiple entrances. Near main headquarters of Root there were two promi ninjas geared up for battle.

  Hiruzen and Jiraiya were leading a rge team of Anbu ninjas and surrouhe locations given by his spy in Root.

  "All teams are getting into position. In just a few minutes we'll be ready." An Anbu ninja reported to the kage.

  Hiruzen nodded and the masked ninja disappeared. Ohey were alohe toad Sannin turned his attention to his sensei's unusually grim face. "You're really going through with this huh."

  "Yes." Came the short reply from the Hokage.

  "This was something that should have been dohe moment you knew about his atta her two years ago. But you waited…" Jiraiya g the man from the er of his eyes and he expressed nothing that would give away his thoughts.

  Hiruzen didn't look at his former student but still addressed him. "What are y to say?"

  "It's just… The timing of this attack. It's strange is all…" Jiraiya ented nontly.

  "What about it?"

  "This isn't just about guarding against Danzo and making a preemptive strike against him, is it? You want to use this i as a tw strike, don't you?"

  Hiruzen was silent as he listeo his student.

  The white haired Sannin tinued. "It's not the Hokage's forces that's going to attack Danzo. It's Orochimaru's. Right? A narrative like that will certainly uhe vilge if spun right. And if for any reason, information es up and leaked that he's in another try, you'd have a legitimate reason to send your ninjas to neighb nations to look for her. You won't have to deal with much backsh on Danzo's death from ihe vilge and you send teams beyond the border in a much more open manner."

  Hiruzen was silent for a few moments before he spoke. "Do you have a problem with my methods?"

  "It's just… I know as the Hokage you have to do certain things to protect the vilge but still… This strategy… It doesn't seem like your style… Well, whatever the case, since we've e this far I suppose we 't turn back we?" Jiraiya shrugged his shoulders and decided to end the versatioepped forward and examihe hidden prote seals Danzo pced around his headquarters.

  Hiruzen looked at the white haired ninja and quietly sighed. 'Despite how he portrays himself to the others, he's not an idiot. And he certainly knows me well. It seems after this, I'll have to introduce him to Tobirama sensei.'

  A few minutes went by and Anbu ninja appeared he Hokage. "All teams are in pce, Lord Hokage."

  Hiruzen nodded. "Begin."

  The Anbu nodded a a signal to the other teams. Immediately all of them began to break the barrier and prote seals around the base and began to rush into the hidden ir.

  Hiruzen's atta Root. Time: 3:32 am.

  —-

  The Hokage Mo.

  The space began to swirl in a vortex and soon a figure cloaked in bck appeared on one of the mos. High atop the stone visage of Minato Namikaze, Obito stood cloaked in shadows. His gaze, sharp and unyielding, sed the Hidden Leaf Vilge sprawling below him. Few moments ter Zetsu emerged from the ground beside him.

  "Madara, Hiruzen Sarutobi, apanied by a team of ANBU and Jiraiya, are ung an assault on Danzo's base," Zetsu whispered..

  The masked ninja chuckled when he heard that. "So this was the pn. I think I uand why the Hokage scattered his ninjas in such a fashion earlier. I'd wager that some of them are Root ninjas."

  "So that's a up mission?" The white half asked.

  "It's possible. It's not like they haven't do to traitor shinobi during the wars." Bck Zetsu agreed with that assessment.

  Obito's Sharingan didn't waver from the vilge, his expression unreadable beh his mask. "Hiruzen is still a formidable foe, even in his old age. And Danzo is equally crafty. I'd be pleased if those two could kill each other but… Jiraiya's involvement plicates things," he mused, his tone ced with both resped disdain.

  Zetsu shifted, his voice taking on a cautionary tohere's more. Itachi Uchiha remains a variable we ot overlook. His loyalty to this vilge is uionable."

  A smirk curved beh Obito's mask. "Itachi, huh? He's merely a pawn in the grand scheme, yet his eyes... they could pose a threat if he chooses to intervene. He's grown far strohan I anticipated during these years."

  The masked ninja remembered the threat Itachi made. For a split sed Obito's fists ched in anger. 'He might have been a grave threat but that Illness he caught is incurable. At best he'll only be able to prolong his life for a few more years. After that…'

  Zetsu's form shifted and turo look at the vilge. "And your primary target? Danzo. He possesses Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan. It's a formidable on. Are you going to destroy it?"

  "The Kotoamatsukami," Obito mused aloud. "trol over the mind is a powerful ability. Danzo is aware of its power; he won't give it up easily. That makes him dangerous."

  "If that Sharingan falls into the Hokage's hands, things could spell trouble for us." The pnt creature was anxious about that possibility.

  But Obito had a different perspective. "Hiruzen isn't someone who would use such means. If… no. When he fronts Danzo, he'll find out about its existend he'll make sure to destroy it. I have to get that eye before that happens."

  Zetsu he yers of his voice overpping like dark leaves rustling. "Danzo is cautious, surrounded by his own ninjas — the Foundation. He has recalled the majority of his forces. They are not to be uimated."

  "Nor am I, Zetsu. My pns have bee in motion long ago," Obito responded, fidence brimming in his voice. "Danzo will fall tonight. Whether by my hands or his old rade's. But no matter what I'll have that eye and with it, I manipute the tides of war discreetly."

  Zetsu nodded in agreement. "Theage is set. We might be able to advance our pns siderably."

  Obito turned his eyes from the vilge. "Yes. It's a possibility. But it depends on the success of this mission."

  "Are you going to attack right now?"

  Obito shook his head. "No. Let's see how Hiruzen and Jiraiya hahe Root. They are a good diversion. I'm not ied in trash fish."

  "Those seals Danzo pced are hard to get by. But he was at the east se of the base in one of the lower floors around half an ho." Zetsu informed the man.

  Obito crossed his arms and nodded. Suddenly Zetsu got information from one of the white Zetsu pear the Root base. "It seems someone else has joihe chaos." Zetsu spoke.

  The masked ninja turned his head and g the creature with his visible eye.

  "An unknown has entered Danzo's base a few minutes before Hiruzen's team. We don't know if he's friendly to Danzo or not. He khe seals to close the entrance barrier. Based on his outfit, he didn't look like Root. He had a greenish bck cloak and a mask in the shape of a dragon head. I was able to barely sense him. So he should be formidable." Zetsu informed him.

  "Hmmm… Maybe Danzo's Ace or a new pyer on the board?" Obito pondered for a few seds. "Regardless. I won't allow ao interfere. It seems it's time I visited that warmonger."

  The pair vanished into the chakra-infused shadows, leaving the vilge unaware of the impending chaos that was about to unfold.

  Obito's atta Root. Time: 3:37 am.
